MANILA — The Western Union Company, a leader in global payments services, announced that it has signed a promotion agreement with ABS-CBN Global Group to offer Western Union consumers key markets access to TFC.tv Lite Package.

The promotion is open to all consumers in participating countries who send money to the Philippines through Western Union® or Vigo (Canada only) Agent retail locations or wu.com from May 15 to Aug. 15, 2016.

Each transfer paid out in the Philippines within five (5) days from the transaction date qualifies the sender to one (1) redemption of TFC.tv Lite Package valid for thirty (30) days.

A maximum of three (3) redemptions is allowed for each sender during the promotion period.

The promotion will be available in the U.S., Canada, Middle East, Oceania, Central and South America, as well as selected countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.

“I am very excited about this collaboration with ABS-CBN Global Group. Their flagship product, TFC, is the leading content provider for overseas Filipinos worldwide and is accessible on a variety of platforms; cable, satellite, video-on-demand, IPTV, mobile and online. Offering access to the rich content that TFC provides to consumers who send money to the Philippines is our way of giving back and helping them to stay connected to their heritage,” says Patricia Riingen, Senior Vice President, South East Asia and Oceania, Western Union.

“Western Union is a leading global money transfer company with services available in over 200 countries and territories. Our collaboration with Western Union will give more consumers who send money back home to the Philippines an opportunity to remain updated with news and entertainment programs from our homeland through our TFC programs, specifically via TFC.tv,” says Raffy Lopez, ABS-CBN Global COO.

Last year, Western Union celebrated 25 years of moving money for better in the Philippines.

Western Union recognizes that the act of transferring money is a bridge that not only sends remittances to friends and families but also acts as a conduit for building better lives in the communities it serves.
